“If you are teaching a debit/credit centered financial accounting principles class there is not a better written or organized text. Believe me I have looked. The supporting materials for instructors [are] also terrific.”

––Nancy Snow, University of Toledo

“The textbook is well written with good examples and homework problems. This book is easy to understand, but is rigorous in its coverage of accounting issues.”

––Paul Brazina, La Salle University, Philadelphia

“Best presentation of material in the industry. In addition, Financial, Managerial and Intermediate all flow together for greater coverage and comprehension.”

––Vince Enslein, Clinton Community College
